Risk Factors for Progression of Low-Grade Dysplasia in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus

TLDR
Overall, patients with BE and LGD have a low annual incidence of EAC, similar to nondysplastic BE, and there is significant interobserver variation in diagnosis, even among expert pathologists.

Photodynamic therapy vs radiofrequency ablation for Barrett's dysplasia: efficacy, safety and cost-comparison.

TL;DR: In the authors' experience, RFA had higher rate of CR-D without any serious adverse events and was less costly than PDT for endoscopic treatment of Barrett's dysplasia.

Progression of Barrett oesophagus: role of endoscopic and histological predictors

TL;DR: Until molecular biomarkers are identified and validated as adjunctive tools for risk Stratification, knowledge of endoscopic features could complement dysplasia grading for risk stratification of patients with Barrett oesophagus and identify subgroups at risk of progression to OAC.

Assessment of a custom-built Raman spectroscopic probe for diagnosis of early oesophageal neoplasia.

TL;DR: The Raman probe system can provide rapid, objective, and accurate diagnosis of oesophageal pathology ex vivo and enables superficial mucosal abnormalities (metaplasia and dysplasia) to be classified in clinically applicable timescales paving the way for an in vivo trial.

A Tissue Systems Pathology Assay for High-Risk Barrett's Esophagus

TL;DR: A tissue systems pathology test is developed that better predicts risk of progression in Barrett's esophagus than clinicopathologic variables and has the potential to improve upon histologic analysis as an objective method to risk stratify Barrett's Esophagus patients.

Updated guidelines 2008 for the diagnosis, surveillance and therapy of Barrett's esophagus.

TL;DR: The guidelines for the diagnosis, surveillance and therapy of Barrett’s esophagus were originally published by the American College of Gastroenterology in 1998 and updated in 2002 and once again reviewed using the National Library of Medicine database.

The Vienna classification of gastrointestinal epithelial neoplasia

TL;DR: The differences between Western and Japanese pathologists in the diagnostic classification of gastrointestinal epithelial neoplastic lesions can be resolved largely by adopting the proposed terminology, which is based on cytological and architectural severity and invasion status.

Dysplasia in inflammatory bowel disease: Standardized classification with provisional clinical applications

TL;DR: A classification system for the epithelial changes that occur in ulcerative colitis was developed, which should be applicable to other forms of inflammatory bowel disease as well and makes use of standardized terminology, addresses specific problem areas, and offers practical solutions.

The Role of Overdiagnosis and Reclassification in the Marked Increase of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Incidence

TL;DR: The rising incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma represents a real increase in disease burden and overdiagnosis can be excluded as an explanation for the rise in incidence.
